Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 12 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or short variety)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter

  3. Stir in cream and cream cheese (if using), whisking until smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Add buffalo sauce and Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and well combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded chicken and cooked pasta. Toss until evenly coated in the sauce.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a fast and flavorful option.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Top with cooked bacon or veggies like spinach for extra flavor.
  • Bake as a casserole for a cheesy, bubbly finish.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat with a splash of cream.
